We recently rented an apartment through John Shepherd and Lily Johnson was our primary contact throughout the process. We had to move in as soon as possible and lily somehow understood this as she made it a hassle free experience for us and also provided immediate response to our concerns.

TrustpilotDreadful company
Dreadful company. Took my deposit and as I didn't pass the affordability check the landlord decided not to rent me the property. It's been around 4 weeks now and I've emailed them and nobody has got back to me after initially asking for my bank details so they can refund me.

TrustpilotOne of the worst letting agent! Colmore street birmingham branch
One of the worst letting agent!! They have no care for the tenant. Any repairs to happen promptly is out of question. At least wait 3-4 months and you are lucky if it gets done.They have left me in actively leaking house. I have to wish there is no rain everyday. They do not care at all that I have little baby and how I manage to heat the house as the leaks and water sipping does not help.They take tenant for granted. Would not give even one star.

TrustpilotExtremely Negligent, do not care about tenants rights
Upon viewing the property my husband was told the carpets would be professionally cleaned however when moving in, carpets amongst other parts of the house were stained.When we moved in the ensuite shower wouldn't get hot, the water pressure was rubbish, and at times taps and shower wouldn't work or the cold water would stop working and the piping hot water would burn me /my children. I informed them of this at the end of July, its November, still not fixed. I'd just had a new baby as well. They told me 2 months into my tenancy that the previous tenants told them the heating wasn't working. Still not fixed. The boiler comes on for 10 mins a day. The property was in no state to be let out. Only cared about getting rent payments, not our safety or well being. Times when I'm trying to get my kids ready for school and I'm having too fill up buckets daily just to wash the family because the taps wouldn't work, couldn't flush the toilet cause the water wasn't working. 2 people came out to say the ensuite needs a new shower and the water system need updating, yet nothing was done. Do not rent with them. They let landlords get away with rubbish and do not care about tenants rights.Rang their offices, no responses, emailed, no responses, my mother drove to their office and spoke to them, nothing was done. Absolute rubbish!

Google.Property was tenanted without our consent (found out someone moved in from the building manager of the apartment !)
References were from a friend and a brand new employer, the agency staff continually swapped due to multiple leave periods, and overall the communication was defensive and experience was poor. Avoid if you are a first time or overseas landlord. We have complained to management but have had no response and the agency took the full fee out even though we expressed concern around the entire process.

Jack has been great throughout the purchasing process. From the initial call, providing us with all of the required information during the viewing, through to the post viewing process - everything has been timely (even providing updates whilst on annual leave!) I would absolutely recommend him and John Shepherd as agents, irrespective of whether you’re a first time buyer or not.
